Sadly, the Aliens won last night. My last life was taken by an Alien Queen while she was still attached to her egg-laying apparatus. There were grenades and a hamburger(?!) right beneath her, but I couldn't get to them fast enough.Flake wrote:Alien vs Predator!? I should have found a way!!

Flake, a couple of Flake's friends, Redline9 and myself got together for a mini-meet up this afternoon. We played some Saturn at Game Over for a couple of hours before heading to UFO for some arcade insanity. Hopefully we can turn these little gatherings into a regular thing.
We did get a few 5 player Guardian Heroes matches going. This time we had enough controllers, but not enough people. I ran people through a tutorial on button configs and special moves with an explanation of the magic system this time. We had some solid brawls.
Some pics:

Check out Flake's Blaze dual stick. Very nice.
I have a one minute video of Virtual On I will upload. Just some casual play between Redline9 and one of Flake's friends. Due to technical difficulties, Flake's first impression of UFO did not record.
As usual, the Game Over staff were very hospitable and a huge thanks goes out to them. Thanks for letting us use your space, guys!
Congratulations to Flake on getting a Saturn! He picked one up while we were at Game Over.

Looks like it was a fun time. Too bad I'm hours away or I would have come.

So much for my ever saving any money!
oh, if you'd like to imagine my reaction to UFO just imagine a guy with a stunned look on his face and "I'm on a Boat" somehow playing in the background.

Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

I'm on a Blaze, I'm on a Blaze
Everybody look at me
'Cause I'm playing on a Blaze

Take a good hard look
At the motherf$#&*ng Blaze!

Virtual On shaky cam video is up. Don't trip over yourself. It's only a minute long.
